The Blues That Made Me Drunk |
Well, I ack’d a sweet mama |
Just to let me a-be her kid |
She said, 'I might get boogered, Sonny |
An you couldn’t a-keep it hidden' |
Well, looked at me an she a’gain to smile |
She said, 'Now, I thought I could use you for my a-man a while |
Lord, if you just don’t let my, Herman catch ya 'ere! |
Now, an if ya just don’t let my, Herman catch you here' |
Well, some said it was degrees |
Some said it wadn’t, nothin' but disease |
But whatev’r it is |
A-slow achin’s killin' people, a-by-n degree |
I know that this slow-achin' something |
Murdering people by degrees |
You know it’s a soberin' thought |
Killin' you by degree |
Well, I went upstairs |
To pack my, a-leavin' trunk |
An I ain’t never, a-drunk no whiskey |
Know the blues made me a-sloppy drunk |
But I ain’t never drunk no whiskey |
But that old, blue-ooos made me drunk |
I ain’t never drunk no whiskey |
Blue-ooos that made me drunk |
Well, I got somethin' to tell ya, baby |
I want you to keep it, a-to yourself |
I don’t want you even, a-tell Mr. So an So |
He doesn’t wanna know nobody else |
But I don’t want you to tell any, baby |
Ple-eease tell nobody else |
I don’t want you even warnin' yo' baby |
Tell nobody else |
